CATA Curricular Code Change Proposal

Contest: Specialty Animal

Submitted by: Jessica Barcellos

1. Change the name from Specialty Animal Contest to Veterinary Science Contest. The name is not indicative of the contents of the event and it is called Veterinary Science at the National Level.

2. Knowledge Test - Separate the general knowledge and the math computational portions of the test into separate exams. I am under the impression that the tests are separated at the national contest but additionally it makes organizational sense for the purposes of giving and taking the test to have all math problems presented together.

3. Remove rabbit judging from the contest. No rabbit judging is done at the national contest and while rabbit care is part of a veterinarians job, I know a lot of vets and not one has ever been asked by a client to "judge" rabbits. Additionally, and as far as I'm concerned, it is VERY hard on the animals during the judging because of the number of contestants required to handle the animals.No other judging event requires the amount of animal handling that is required in this contest. It is also difficult to find animals for this portion of the contest.

4. Add a practicum to the the contest Follow the practicals that are included at the national level. This could be incorporated into the contest in place of the rabbit judging and the reasons.These practicums are very career relevant and would take no more time than the judging and the individual reasons that are already part of the contest.

5. Adopt the ID list from the national list.

6. If the ID list from the national contest is not adopted, remove Hinny from the horse list. Without genetic testing, even experts have a difficult time telling a mule from a hinny by just visual observation.

7. Team activity This is becoming a more common portion of many of the contests and is already part of the national contest. A team event is very much a part of the real world of veterinary medicine and would be an excellent situation for teaching job skills.

8. Revision of the test bank Reduce the number of questions on breeds. Align the test bank divisions to the sections used at the national level and add questions in medical terminology, genetics, nutrition, medical records, diseases, anatomy and physiology, and husbandry.

As the chairmen for the Specialty Animals contest last June I ask for this contest to be open to review the changes and to make other changes to the contest to match up better with the national Veterinary Science contest. See the attachments (below) for those changes.

• Test changes as there are two wrong answers and to get better questions • Rotation varification • Removal of rabbit judging • Add practicums from the national competition 10 of the 45 each year in a rotation

I hope that you will consider this opening to help continue to make this contest a better one and to make it continue to be one of the most popular events.

Revised 6/2012 Purpose and Standards The Specialty Animal event seeks to effectively prepare the students for the expectations of the animal health care and services (Veterinary Hospitals/Clinics, Grooming Facilities, Pet Stores, Kennels/Boarding Facilities, Feed Stores) workplace. Workers seeking careers in the animal health care field must develop a high degree of knowledge, skill and ability to solve difficult problems. This event blends the testing of skills and knowledge required for careers in the animal science career pathway. California Career Technical Education Model Curriculum Standards addressed by this event include:

Foundation Standards: Listening and Speaking 1.1, 2.2c, 2.2f, 1.8, Technology 4.2, 4.6, Health and Safety 6.2, 6.5, Ethics and Legal Responsibilities 8.3, Leadership and Teamwork 9.1, 9.2, 9.3.
